One supermarket has gone above and beyond for this mum after she gave birth to triplets.

32-year-old Manda Kiernan, 32, has been a loyal customer at Asda, but has struggled since 2016 when little Niamh, Aoifa and Cormac arrived in the world.

The mum-of-three had been finding it increasingly difficult to manage the weekly shop with her toddlers in tow and thought nothing would come of it when she asked the supermarket's customer trading manager Kev Savage if they could help at all.

But something did come of it - Gloucestershire Live reports how the supermarket came up with a one-off trolley specially designed to safely seat triplets, with room to spare for all the family's groceries.

Manda said: “It was a nightmare as I used to have a triple wagon from America that I used to push the triplets in but it just got too heavy to push around the trolley.

“If I used a trolley with two seats and had one standing up then it would not be safe.

“This trolley is great.

“I asked Asda and I didn’t think anything would come of it, but I spoke to Kev and I was shocked when they told me that a trolley for the triplets was on its way.

“I was also quite excited that I would be able to do a weekly shop with the children as well. The triplets seem to rather like it as well.”

Niamh, Aoifa and Cormac, from Longhope, Gloucestershire, seem very content with the new shopping arrangements and are happy to help ease the load by eating some of the fruit Manda puts in the trolley.

Asda community colleague Fay Edwards said: “Mrs Kiernan contacted us asking if there was anything that we could do as a company to help her shop with the children as the trollies that we had were not suitable for the triplets.”

The feedback was sent to Asda House and customer trading manager Kev followed up the request.

The trolley is of course not just for triplets, but for three young and small children that go to the shop. Just ask at the customer service desk if you wish to use it.

Kev said: “After the feedback went to head office, the company set about building a prototype to be used in store.
